BC Summer Games - Coaches

The rowing competition at the 2018 BC Summer Games includes events for male and female athletes under 17 years of age as of December 31, 2018. The competition is intended to provide a first multi-sport Games experience for developing athletes. Rowers compete in a variety of race and skills events, held over 3 days. Athletes have an opportunity to row in the following boat classes: women’s single, men’s single, women’s doubles, men’s doubles, and mixed quads (two male and two female rowers). The BC Summer Games is a wonderful opportunity for athletes to develop their skills as racing will be held over 500m, 1000m and 1500m in the different events.

Each Zone at the BC Summer Games will be supported by a Head Coach and an Assistant Coach.
